I tried some data transfers since my Laptop has a legit Thunderbolt 4 port and the iPad Pro M2 isn’t even hitting half of the possible speeds.
what gives ?

Not that it makes a lot of difference but Apple does not claim it's a Thunderbolt 4 port. The specs list it as a Thunderbolt 3/ USB 4 port.I tried some data transfers since my Laptop has a legit Thunderbolt 4 port and the iPad Pro M2 isn’t even hitting half of the possible speeds.

How does the laptop see the iPad Pro? Does it appear as a disk? Is the disk connected via USB?I tried some data transfers since my Laptop has a legit Thunderbolt 4 port and the iPad Pro M2 isn’t even hitting half of the possible speeds.

I'm pretty sure that's not what the article says. Besides, the original poster says his laptop has Thunderbolt 4, and laptops are not allowed to claim Thunderbolt 4 support if they don't have the max allowed performance. At least 22 Gbps should be possible. That's 2750 MB/s but that's only for PCIe transfer. USB transfer is limited to 10 Gbps = 1000 MB/s though Apple Silicon usually gives 100 MB/s less than that.I can't seem to copy the relevant text from the article, but the gist is that PCs get only 1 lane of data flow, rather than 2 (it's not a problem confined to Apple devices).
If Apple claims only Thunderbolt 3 then we don't know how fast the PCIe connection is. Except it's probably integrated like M1 Macs so it should be max speed. The only reason Apple can't claim Thunderbolt 4 for the Thunderbolt of M1 and M2 Macs is because they don't support two 4K displays from Thunderbolt.Not that it makes a lot of difference but Apple does not claim it's a Thunderbolt 4 port.
